Garth and Annabelle,
Hiring an analysis expertise is in
the best interest of Southern Winery. We
currently do not have an analysis expert aboard. I know we discussed not hiring any new
employees, but since I am just the program manager, I will need an extra hand
to help me with analysis of this new system we are creating. I would like to know what holes are in the
system, what we can improve on, and how we can increase our security
posture. By using a defense in depth, I
think we would greatly improve the system, but I need someone to help implement
this and really analyze our current infrastructer.
I think a Feasibility study would
be great for us to determine the Technical, Economic, Legal, Operation, and the
schedule. This study is good because it
helps us determine if it sensible for us to develop this particular system.
Technical Feasibility: does the technology exist before we can implement?
Economic Feasibility: is the system cost-effective? What are the pros and cons?
Legal Feasibility: Are there any legal requirements we haven’t addressed yet?
Operational Feasibility: are Southern Wineries practices enough to support this new system?
Schedule Feasibility: can the system be developed in the time frame?
After we conduct this feasibility study we will have to perform a requirements analysis.
When we conduct the feasibility study, I think we will find
that we have the technology available. The
system will be within our budget, and the legal requirements have been
addressed with a lawyer. I think the
biggest issue we will run into is the operational feasibility. This aspect will need an analysis expert to
help determine if our system is operational and ready to be put online. Also as stated above: after we are completed
with the feasibility study, we will need to perform a requirements analysis.
You can
reach me at 853-369-258. Please let me
know if you have any questions.
V/R,
Your PM
